Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Roseville
Most motorcycle accidents are caused by the negligence of another driver. Common causes our attorneys handle include distracted driving, failure to yield at intersections, unsafe lane changes, speeding, driving under the influence, and running red lights.
Left-turn crashes are among the most dangerous scenarios for riders — occurring when a driver turning left fails to yield to an oncoming motorcycle. These accidents often result in severe, life-changing injuries because the motorcyclist has almost no time to react and no physical protection.
Injuries Common in Motorcycle Accidents
Because riders have no protective barrier around them, motorcycle accident injuries tend to be serious. The injuries we most commonly see include:
- Traumatic brain injuries — helmets are approximately 67% effective at preventing brain trauma, but Minnesota only requires riders under 18 to wear one
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones in the arms, legs, hips, and wrists
- Road rash, ranging from surface abrasions to deep tissue damage
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Knee, leg, and lower extremity injuries
Recovery from serious motorcycle injuries can take months or years. Our attorneys work with medical and financial experts to make sure every cost — present and future — is accounted for in your claim.

What Compensation Can You Recover?
If another party caused your accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:
| Type of Damage | What It Covers |
|---|---|
| Medical expenses | Emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, future treatment |
| Lost income | Wages lost during recovery and reduced earning capacity |
| Property damage | Repair or replacement of your motorcycle |
| Pain and suffering | Physical pain, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life |
| Wrongful death | Funeral costs, loss of support, loss of companionship |
Minnesota does not cap personal injury compensation, so the value of your claim is based entirely on the scope of your losses.
What Minnesota Law Means for Your Claim?
Minnesota follows a modified comparative fault rule. You can still recover compensation as long as you are less than 50% at fault for the accident — though your payout will be reduced by your share of fault (Minnesota Statute § 604.01).
You have six years from the date of your accident to file a motorcycle accident lawsuit in Minnesota (Minnesota Statute § 541.05). Acting quickly protects your evidence and strengthens your case.
It is also important to know that motorcycles fall outside Minnesota’s no-fault insurance system, meaning claims go directly through the at-fault driver’s liability coverage — or through a civil lawsuit when that coverage is not enough.

FAQs
Minnesota only requires riders under 18 to wear a helmet, so adult riders have no legal obligation. However, if the at-fault party argues your injuries were worsened by riding without one, this could reduce your compensation under comparative fault rules. Our attorneys can push back on these arguments and work to protect the full value of your claim.
Settlement timelines depend on the severity of your injuries and whether liability is disputed. Straightforward cases may resolve in a few months, while complex cases involving serious injuries can take one to two years or more. Our team works efficiently so your case resolves as quickly as possible without leaving compensation on the table.
You may be able to recover through your own Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. Our attorneys review every available insurance source to make sure you recover as much as possible, even when the at-fault driver’s policy falls short.
Yes. Under Minnesota wrongful death law, eligible family members can pursue compensation for funeral costs, loss of financial support, and loss of companionship. There are specific procedural requirements, so it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
If a dangerous road condition contributed to your crash, a government agency such as the City of Roseville or the Minnesota Department of Transportation may be liable. Claims against government entities require a notice to be filed within 180 days of the incident. Our attorneys can evaluate this quickly and manage the filing requirements on your behalf.
